Thanks for staying home today with three barfing children so I could come to work and finish this job on time.

I know you had that 3-hour training for your new consulting gig scheduled for a long time, and that you canceled it without even asking if I could cover.

I know that you had a babysitter lined up, and that I asked you to cancel her becaue she is seven months pregnant and brings her 5-year-old, and I didn’t want the three of them catching what our children have.

I also know that you cleaned up nine barfy messes between last night and this afternoon (well, I cleaned up one last night with my feet, and picked up a stray chunk this morning with my little toe), and you still seemed pretty cheerful as of 4 p.m.

And most importantly, I want you to know that I am not coming home until the floors are clean and there are fresh sheets on the bed. You have my number. Mwah.
